  Next, at the transshipment center, the packages are sorted by delivery destination and transshipment is performed. Then, the center terminal device 120 of the transshipment center transmits the transshipment information in which the packages are sorted by the delivery destination to the host server 100.

  Next, the delivery instruction data D40 for the sorted delivery packages is transmitted from the host server 100 to the center terminal device 120 of the transshipment center and the portable terminal device 200 of the delivery person in charge of delivery. The delivery person's portable terminal device 200 receives the delivery command data D40 from the host server 100 after authenticating the host server 100 using the communication partner authentication data D20.

  The delivery command data D40 includes a package tag ID number D1, authentication designated point time data D41 (destination designated location coordinate data and time data), password encryption data D42, and notes to the package (delivery environmental condition data). , Including address and address information. The password encryption data D42 is data obtained by encrypting the recipient authentication password input by the recipient of the package delivery destination.

  The delivery command data D40 received by the delivery person's mobile terminal device 200 is transmitted by the mobile terminal device 200 to the delivery person's IC card 300 using the proximity communication unit 240. The delivery person's IC card 300 stores the delivery command data D40 in the memory unit.

  Then, the delivery person receives the package transshipped at the transshipment center, and uses the short-range communication unit 230 or the proximity communication unit 240 of the delivery person's mobile terminal device 200 from the wireless tag 10 for delivery management of the received package. The tag ID number D1 is read.

  The delivery person's portable terminal device 200 collates the tag ID number D1 with the delivery instruction data D40 of the delivery package stored in the delivery person's IC card 300, and when there is no problem in the result of the collation process, the transshipment center The package receipt confirmation information is transmitted to the center terminal device 120 and the host server 100. The delivery person then loads the package into the delivery car.

(Delivery process)
The delivery person delivers the package received from the transshipment center to the destination, and hands the package to the destination recipient in the following procedure. First, before handing over the package to the recipient, the portable terminal device 200 of the delivery person in charge uses the short-range communication unit 230 or the proximity communication unit 240 to manage the delivery of the package for the destination. Read tag ID number D1.

  Next, the mobile terminal device 200 collates the tag ID number D1 with the tag ID number D1 of the package designated by the delivery command data D40 of the package for delivery stored in the IC card 300 of the delivery person. When there is no problem in the result of the collation processing of the mobile terminal device 200, the delivery person delivers the package to which the wireless tag 10 with the tag ID number D1 designated by the delivery command data D40 is pasted to the destination.

  In the delivery person's portable terminal device 200, the GPS unit 220 of the portable terminal device 200 receives the radio wave from the GPS satellite 400 at the destination position, calculates the distance from the GPS satellite 400, and calculates the distance from the GPS satellite 400. The position coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the device 200 are calculated to create GPS position coordinate data. In addition, the built-in clock 280 of the mobile terminal device 200 creates time data at that time.

  Then, the deliveryman's mobile terminal device 200 authenticates the deliveryman's IC card 300 using the communication partner authentication data D20, while the deliveryman's IC card 300 also authenticates the deliveryman's mobile terminal device 200 to the communication partner authentication. After authenticating using the business data D30, the mobile terminal device 200 transmits the GPS position coordinate data and time data, and the tag ID number D1 of the package wireless tag 10 to the IC card 300.

  The IC card 300 of the delivery person receives the GPS position coordinate data, the time data, and the tag ID number D1 of the wireless tag 10 of the package received from the portable terminal device 200 authenticated using the communication partner authentication data D30. It collates with the authentication designated point time data D41 in the delivery command data D40 designated by the number D1.

  Then, the IC card 300 performs the authentication process of the recipient of the delivery destination only when the GPS position coordinate data and the time data match the delivery destination designated position coordinate data and the delivery destination designated time data of the authentication designated point time data D41. The recipient authentication processing start signal is transmitted to the delivery person's portable terminal device 200.

  Since it is difficult to completely match the GPS position coordinate data and the time data at that time with the delivery destination designated position coordinate data and the delivery destination designated time data of the authentication designated point time data D41, for example, the GPS position coordinate data is 200 m. Recalculate the coordinate position of the interval, recalculate the time data at that time also to the time of the 4-hour interval, and specify the destination specified position coordinate data, the destination specified time data, the coordinate position and time It is desirable to compare them.

  In this way, the delivery person IC card 300 is restricted so as not to start the recipient authentication process except when the delivery person's portable terminal device 200 exists at the designated destination at the designated delivery time. Thus, there is an effect that it is possible to manage such that a person other than the recipient of the destination does not acquire the package by performing unauthorized authentication. In other words, a person other than the recipient who does not exist at the specified delivery time or at the specified destination cannot perform the authentication process illegally by checking the authentication method for receiving the package, and the package is acquired illegally. There is an effect that can be managed so that there is no.

(Recipient authentication process)
In this way, the recipient authentication process can be started only when the delivery person's portable terminal device 200 is present at the designated destination at the designated delivery time.

(Recipient authentication with a password for recipient authentication)
When the delivery person's mobile terminal device 200 receives a recipient authentication processing start signal from the delivery person's IC card 300, the delivery person's mobile terminal device 200 notifies the delivery person using the IC card 300 that the recipient authentication process has started, A person is allowed to input a recipient authentication password (for example, a password of 1234) from the touch panel of the display unit 260. The delivery person's portable terminal device 200 transmits the recipient authentication password (password) to the IC card 300 together with the GPS position coordinate data and the time data.

The IC card control unit 302 sends a recipient authentication password (for example, a password 1234) and GPS position coordinate data (for example, 35.680 degrees north latitude, 139.766 degrees east longitude 3 m) from the delivery terminal mobile terminal device 200. When the time data (June 22, 2012, 18:00) is received, 32 bytes are obtained from the data representing the recipient authentication password in hexadecimal number combined with the GPS position coordinate data and time data and the secret key data. The encrypted password data of the hash value sha-1 (recipient authentication password, GPS position coordinate data, time data) is calculated.

Then, the hash value sha-1 is compared with the password encryption data D42 recorded in the delivery command data D40. If the hash value sha-1 that is the encrypted password matches the password encryption data D42, the recipient authentication ends. That is, in this case, receipt confirmation data with the hash value sha-1 is recorded in the package receipt data D50, and a recipient authentication end signal is transmitted to the delivery person's portable terminal device 200. The delivery person's mobile terminal device 200 repeats the authentication process until a recipient authentication end signal is received from the IC card 300.

(Modification 2)
As a second modification, the password encryption data D42 of the delivery command data D40 is stored in the IC card 300 as follows when the delivery person's mobile terminal device 200 receives the original delivery command data D40 from the host server 100. It is also possible to calculate the password encryption data D42 and record it in the delivery command data D40.

  That is, the IC card 300 receives the IC card identification ID number D31 or the recipient of the package with the tag ID number D1 received from the host server 100, such as a password unique to the IC card 300 set by the delivery person of the IC card 300. A hash value can be calculated together with the authentication password and authentication designated point time data D41, and the hash value can be recorded in the delivery command data D40 as password encryption data D42.

  When authenticating the recipient, the IC card control unit 302 uses a password unique to the IC card 300 and the recipient authentication password received from the delivery person's mobile terminal device 200 as authentication designated point time data. From the data combined with D41 and the secret key data, a 32-byte hash value sha-1 (password unique to the IC card 300, password for recipient authentication, GPS position coordinate data, time data) is calculated. Then, the hash value sha-1 is compared with the password encryption data D42 recorded in the delivery command data D40. The recipient can be authenticated when the hash value sha-1 matches the password encryption data D42.

  As described above, the IC card 300 performs a calculation for encrypting the recipient authentication password input from the recipient and collates it with the password encryption data D42 stored in the memory 301 of the IC card 300. Authenticate the recipient. As such, since the password for recipient authentication is not directly stored in the memory 301 of the IC card 300, the password for recipient authentication is known even if the memory 301 of the IC card 300 is illegally analyzed. And there is an effect that the secret of the recipient authentication password can be protected.

  When the IC card control unit 302 creates the package receipt data D50 and receives the recipient authentication end signal from the IC card 300, the delivery person's portable terminal device 200 has completed the recipient authentication. Notify that. In response to the notification, the delivery person removes the wireless tag 10 attached to the package from the package and hands the package to the recipient. Then, the mobile terminal device 200 transmits package delivery completion report information to the host server 100 via the wireless communication unit 210.

  The removed wireless tag 10 is collected when the delivery person delivers it to the transshipment center. Then, after the center terminal device 120 of the transshipment center reads out the environmental data measured by the sensor unit 14 stored in the memory of the wireless tag 10 and transmits it to the host server 100, the center terminal device 120 of the transshipment center The contents stored in the memory of the wireless tag 10 are erased. Then, the wireless tag 10 is reused for another package collection and delivery.
